Till; W ATKKWOKKS, The peqple of (lafTney will he railed on to vote another issue of bonds to the amount of .$10,000 for the purpose of completing the water works, or they must abandon tho enterprise ami acknowledge that, like the man who began to build tho tower, they did not count the cost. As a matter of fact, however, our committee did count the cost of a system which it was thought would be extensive enough for present pur poses. But they did not in their calculations make proper allowance for the expansion of the town and tho unprecedented rise in the price of materials—the latter, a contin gency which no human wisdom could foresee or prevent. It will not do for the enterprise to stop where it is. It would in volve the virtual loss of all that has been spent, and the half finished works would remain as an object of derision for our neighbors and a monument to our own folly. (ialfnoy is a town of “magnificent distances,” but the “distances” are being filled in by a rapidly increas ing population, and it is the part of wisdom to provide now for what is clearly and inevitably coming. The health the comfort, tho pride, the business interest of the town, all demand that the water mains he ex tended along all of tho principal streets and there will never be a bet. ter time to extend them than now while the work is under way. Such an extension will do more towards popu lating the streets with a worthy and desirable citizenship, than anything else that just now could bo done. The burden of the additional ex pense will hardly be felt by our peo ple. There will be no increase of taxation, for town taxes are now at the charter limit; the additional in terest 0:1 the town bonds will not amount to more than four or tive hun dred dollars, and tho water rents will at the start go far towards pay ing this and before many years will no doubt pay it all and besides pro duce a surplus for the benefit of the town treasury. W'e hope that tho voters of (JatTney will recognize tho overwhelming im portance of pushing this enterprise now to a satisfactory completion, and that they will bo true to them selves and to the best interests of the town, as they have ever been in the past. It is true that the town is already carrying some heavy burdens. The public spirit and the private gener osity of our people are under u strain to which they have never be fore been subjected in tho history of the town. But there is daylight ahead. Tho strain must soon relax, and the rewards of sacrifice and de votion will be sweet and lasting. NOTES AND I'OMMENTS. The world famous Captain Dreyfus is again on trial in France for treason, lie bears himself well, though it is said that he is beginning to show the etrocts of the long and constant strain. There is no telling what is going to become of Dreyfus and it is difficult to tell what is going to be come of France. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦■ The war in tho Bhilippines is to be prosecuted with vigor. So says Sec retary Boot. By the end of the rainy season, which is about the lust of October, there will ho fifty thous and men there and more if necessary to end the trouble. In the mean while the Philippinos appeal to the powers of the world for recognition and beg them to exercise their in- lluence on the I nited States (lovern- ment to bring a termination to “the unjust war which is devastating the country.” It is a bad business all round, and the end is not yet. You may depend on (ireonville every time to come to the rescue when news Is scarce and times are dull. If the “Dark Corner” tlo not rally, tho city will see to it that there shall he no dcurth of exciting news. Bust Sunday night after II o’clock something like an incipient race war broke out in tho city, and Mr. Jus. A. Hoyt, Jr., belonging to the stulf of tho State, attempted to inform his paper of the purticulurs of the event. But the Western Fnion operator was asleep in blissful igno rance of all that was going on and his office was closed against the world, the flesh, and the devil. But a newspaper reporter when tilled with the spirit of ids calling, like love, laughs at locksmiths. Pro curing an operator who happened to come in his way, he went to the tele- graph ollice, and the door, which was utterly insensible to persuasion, re sponded generously to a few vigorous kicks, and the extemporized operator called loudly for Columbia. But alas! the Western lDion was soundly asleep in that enterprising city also, and the only alternative was to send the message to the Atlanta Constitution, supposed to be always awake, with the request that it be forwarded over tho Associated Press wire to the State. The (inale of it all is, that the Constitution failed to send the message to the State but published it in its own columns; the State is mad; the race war didn't materialize; the Constitution is triumphant; and the enterprising reporter is threat ened with prosecution for burglary. New Mona/.Ut* Plant. |rlct cluml St ttr.| Mr. B. U. Campbell, a well known monnzite miner and dealer, is estab lishing an extensive monazito plan at the Kph. White manazite mine, northeast of Shelby, which he pur- chased some time ago. Tho concern will be known as the Campbell Mon- azite Co. Several car loads of machinery have already arrive. including a large crusher, a forty horse power boiler and a thirty horse power en gine. The hillside is a shiest rock, formation, and Mr. Campbell tells us is rich in the monazite sand. Tho rock will he crushed in the immense crusher and afterwards washed as is usually done with the sand from the creek and brook bottoms. Mr. Campbell is a miner of wide exper ience and says that the output will satisfy every expectation, that it will furnish a uniform grade of sand, and is moreover just the quality most in demand now. lie will pay no atten tion whatever to t he sand to he ob tained along the bottoms of the wa ter courses, hut will developo the hillside mine. Bumber and other material is be ing placed on the site of the works, and in the course of feww woe its the plant will be crushing sixty to seven ty-five tons per day. Some thirty hands will he employed, and we are informed that unlimited capital is behind the project. ProxiM-rtM ProinMiiif.

Goforth, of Sunnyside, was seriously hurt yesterday by tho roller of a molasses cane mill falling on his foot and crushing some of tho bones. Little Ora, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Inman, is quite sick with a malarial attack. She seems to have symptoms of acute rheumatism too. The Blackwood boys have done a good job for the county in repairing the Owen’s ford bridge. The bridge needs a cover now, and it will per haps not need any more repairs for twenty-five years. Our thanks are duo Mr. C. F. In man for a lot of choice watermelons. He has a great many of them and they have a most delicious Havor. Yesterday T. M. Littlejohn, Esq., showed us a line sample of honey. He is an expert at the bee culture and furnishes the market with the best article of pure clear honey. He •has an extracter and every other convenience for handling it. Mrs. J. B. H. has been trjing to make soap but the moon isn’t right and she has to add potash to make it thicken. There was a prayer meeting at Abingdon Creek church last night. Misses Sullie and Julia Hoard, of Shelby, N. C., are visiting the family of Mr. It. E. Kerr of this section. There was a singing at Mr. S. F. Estes’ last Wednesday night. Miss Annie Foster, of McConnells- ville, is visiting friends and relatives in this neighborhood. Mr. Jelferson Blackwell is ready, willing and anxious,to enlist in tho war of races which scorns to have broken loose in Greenville. Jeff will make a good soldier, no doubt, as long as he keeps up to the lighting point. Some people wants to know what has become of the wasps. Mr. H. M. May nor found a nest at tho Owen’s ford bridge a few days ago. Rev. Mr. Crocker is doing a com mendable work for the Master. He has been conducting u protracted meeting at Ararat, and during bis labor in that section ho has held ser vices in the chain gang camp. He certainly appreciates his calling. We hope other ministers and Chrs- tian workers will follow his example. If we ever needed a faithful clergy it is now. Miss Mary Leo, of Chester, is visi ting her Cherokee county friends and relatives. Tho sudden and unexpected death of Carl Whisonunt has sent a thrill of grief to many a heart, and the grief-stricken family have our heart felt sympathies. Carl was a youth of great promise and his sudden taking oil is a severe loss to his homo and community. Eternal life, at bis teijiiest, To e\ ery saint is ttiven; Safety on earth, and after death The iilentltuile of heaven. The announcement of tho dent It of Mr. U. C. Patrick is also a shock to this community, and his friends and family have our sympathies. “Death rides ou every passini; breeze, It. lurks in every (lower: Each season has its own disease. Its perils every Innir." We have no reason to complain of bad roads in Cherokee county after traveling over those of some of our neighboring counties. Cherokee has tho best roads on an average of any county in tho Piedmont belt, we verily believe. Whatever may be said of the work of our county com missioners thoy certainly art; giving us good roads where they have made the attempt. We trust that the Sunday School workers af Cherokee county will or ganize a county interdenominational Sunday School convention and put it to work. We have in Cherokee county the material for making one of the best conventions in the State, except, perhaps, Spartanburg, and it compares favorably with that. Bet us hear from v ( >u brethren, through The Ledger. Wo notice that tho ‘•Chester Lan tern” speaks of the “Reunion of tho Wash McKowns,”—two of them Chester county men and one from Cherokee. They all met at the Ches ter reunion and made up their ac quaintances. There is a good den! of sickness in Dr. W. J. Doaglss’ practice, though we are glad to note that there are no serious eases that we know of. This community will miss our old army comrade Win. Jones, who passed j.from time to eternity a few days ago. Mr. Jones was an exem plary, unostentatious man, and one who cumo as near fulfilling that great command: “Thou sliuit love thy neighbor as thyself,” as any man we know of. Peace to his ashes. After several good appearances tho ruin has failed to reach us yet and our ground is getting very dry. In traveling over large portions of York, Chester and Cherokee counties your correspondent concludes that the people of this community have no reason to complain of their crops if they will compare them with other sections. Though they are by no means us good os wo would wish lor. Wo are anxious to hear from Bro. “Pruella” or some other bruin wreck ers. IfCapt. J.T. Coyle will have the loose rock thrown out of the road it will add greatly to the splendid work tho chain gang is doing. j. e. h.

THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY. # Ioiih for I hi* South Draw n from (Im 1 ManHii'Ht< r SrHIon. A special stulf correspondent of the Manufacturers, Record, who is in England investigating the textile and iron interests, writes to that paper about the cotton-manufacturing bus- incss of Manchester as follows: Within an area of lifty miles around this city are located I7<‘<0 cotton man ufacturers, controlling PJ, l'.»l spindles and looms. Man chester lias indeed the right to he called the great textile-manufactur ing center of the world. In and near it are numerous oilier industries, but the manufacture of cotton fabrics is so extensive that all of the other work is insignificiunt in comparison. 'The famous ship canal which connects it with thcjocoan owes its inception principally to the elforts rf the spinners to cheapen the cost i f transporting tho raw materia! and finished products, although Liver pool. which is still the principle sea port for receiving tho cotton, is but thirty miles distant, and connected with it by several lines of railway. But Liverpool’s cotton commerce will steadily decline. This is the prediction of those best in position to know A They show by statistics Jimv the American, Egyptian and Indian cotton is being received more and more at the Manchester warves, where it is distributed to Iho mills, some of which are built directly on its banks. Of all these plants, not one is oper ated by water-power. Such streams as are to he found in the Curolinus and Georgia, for example, are un known in this part of Great Britain, where most of the cotton goods are linished. Neither has this district any special advantages in the way of fuel, for the coal, although mined in the west of England, costs from $2.50 to $3 50 per ton, and is much poorer for steam producing Gian liie George’s Creek, Pocahontas or Ala bama coal, as it contains a large per centage of slate and other impurities. It comes by rail and canal, and is used almost entirely to the exclusion of other grades. Lancashire, how ever, has an abundance of pure wa ter, and the population of this part of tho (Queen’s domain seems es pecially adapted to handling the loom and spindle, inheriting the trade from ancestors ranging as far back as 150 years. Yet thoy are c\- tremedy ignorant and much lower than the mill hands of the Carolinas, for example, in natural intelligence. These factors have played an im portant part in the developement of tho cotton industry hereabouts, for the water supply and quality allow the goods to be bleached where man ufactured, and not sent to another part of the kingdom te be whitened at nn extra expense. 'The hands work for a very low scale of wages, and though many of the plants in small towns, where the employes have some of the advantages of rural life, even in the hamlets land is so higli in this crowded country that they arc huddled together in blocks of tenements and have no conception of manner in which Southern mill hands are favored when compared with them. The ship canal, although recently completed, has had a most benefic ial effect on the Manchester factories. Although six plants, representing 1)0,000 spindles and 2000 looms, dis continued buD ness in ISOS, thirty- one new enterprises were established, so that an actual gain for the pres ent year is recorded of 3'.)5,000 spin dles and 1)000 looms, in spile of the number ceasing operat ions. Several plants now being erected will futher increase these figures by January I, next. And the prospect s’of the spinners, according to tho most conservative statements, are very bright. Never in their history have the companies had more demand for their product, and many of the largest plants are doing “double time. When asked as to tho reason of this demand and the possibility of its long duration, one of the most ex tensive manufacturers said to the writer: “We have orders for our product for the next live months, and as far us I can see, will be compelled to operate our mills with a full force for the next year, if not longer. The demand comes largely from British and Continental i insutners, hut wc arc also shipping much to East India. There is no demand from any particular quarter. Orders are being received in the same pro portion from all parts of our terri tory.” It is unnecessary to say that this should be gratifying news to the American cotton-growers, since the Southern States contribute in such a measure to the supply of raw mater ial in this district. The disastrous management of some of the larger cotton mills of the Manchester district is familiar to readers of tho Manufacturers’ Re cord. So greatly was the confidence of investors shaken by these reverses that cotton-mill stocks until recently have been regarded with much dis favor for speculative or investment purposes. Today these securities, paying ten per cent, annually in div idends, can bo bought readily at from 15<) to 175, according to the line Illa tions of the mantel. Experience, though a hitter teacher, has been thorough, and the loose and reckless methods of linnneiering have given place to prudence and conservatism. The writer learns on excellent au thority that fully seventy-live prr cent, of the active mills in this dis trict are earning enough to pay tho dividend mentioned and five percent, additional to pay for new equipment.

(Correspondence of The l.- dfrer ) Bi.ACKsni.'Kd. S. G., Alfg. 10.—A dwelliiur house belonging to W. B. Anthony, of Easley, S. ('., and also one belonging to Mrs. It. It. Gumhli, of Gaffney, nn Ituihford strict, this place, were totally destroyed by (ire Tuesday morning about 10 o’clock. Mr. Anthony’s house was occupied al the time hy Mr. J. If. I’liillijis, dispenser, while Mrs. <iamble’u house was occupied by Mr. D. II. Young, who has charge of the pump of tho Southern It. It., at this place. Mr. I’hillips succeeded in saving all his effects, though some were damaged by handling, while Mr. Young lost everything. Just how the lire started, no one seems to know. When discovered, one of the bedrooms was in llames. Mrs. Young was visiting a neighbor —a negro woman was washing in the yard. Fortunately the wind was in the right direction. Had it have been to the North :i house of Mrs. Deals’ would have been destroyed along with a number of others in the square. Tho people responded promptly and rendered eliicient assistance. And it is notable that during the re moval of the household goods of Mr. Phillips, a pocket hook belonging to him and containing some money was dropped. A negro hoy by the name of John Davis found it and promptly turned it over to the chief of police. I understand that Mr. Anthony's house was insured in the Hartford Fire Insurance Company for $500, us was also that of Mrs. Gamble’s, No insurance was carried on t he house hold goods hy the occupants of the two houses. Thousands upon thousands of worms, claimed hy some people to be what is eoinmoniy known us the “Army worm,” readied tiiis place about a week or ten days ago. Hardly a green thing has escaped (hem, and the gardens look a* if swept hy lire. They have been, and are still, iti some sections of the country surrounding this placi and crops have been and arc still being greatly damaged. Some sections, 1 understand however, have entirely escaped. The worms, on an average, are about an inch in length, of a dark grei n color with yellow stripes run ning lengthwise, yellow stomach and brown headed —resembling some what the worm found in rousting ears. It is astonishing the quickness with which they destroy anything green, and if one will put some in a hottle, th y will oat each other until there is hut one left and that one will eat itself until death is produced. Another tbing, they are tie most persistent or determined worms ever seen. They are traveling in a cer tain direction and nothing except death will cause them to Jjstop or change their course. A gentle men -aid they reached his front door and attempted to go through the house. They were swept off tho piazza, only to return with renewed energy and determination, to go straight through his front dour and out the hack way. He swept them away two or three times and at last, in desperation, gathered them in pans and poured boiling water upon them. There is considerable difference of opinion as to wliclher this is really the “Army Worm” or not. Many of tho old residents claim that it is not. That tho real “Army Worm” which passed through here a number of years ago, was much larger and of a different color. One night last week Olevo Carter, a negro, assaulted another negro named Nathan Sanders near Hope- well church. It seems that Boh Hurkness, of Sharon, was having some wood cut at that place niui that these two negroes were in his em ploy. They had finished work for the day and wore sitting around a cam fire. Handers took out a knife and while sharpening it asserted that it was the finest ever made, where upon Carter asked him if he intended to use it on him, and while Sanders was attempting to explain that he had no such intentions Carter gol up { unci walked away. Sanders nor any ! of the others suspected anything, but j in a few minutes Carter returned j and coming up behind Sanders struck j him with the back of an axe just ! above the left hip and then struck I him with the front part about the ! left shoulder blade. Considerable excitement was of course produced Mr. Darkness was however at once notilied and came to this place for a physician and chief police. I’pon his return with Messrs. Darwin and Duncan he found Curler still there, and when the physician was taking about eighteen stiches in the left shoulder of Handers, Carter seemed deeply interested in the operation. He was of course arrested, offering not the slightest resistance, ; ml is now in Gaffney ja ; l. The negro Sanders who was cut bears a good reputation; has hut one arm, the left, yet is considered one of the best w >od cutters in this section. k. v. T. WADDY W. THOMSON DEAD.
